New Firefox Available for Download! Get It Now!

Yesterday, it was only a toolbar compatible with Internet Explorer. Today, eBay makes one more step and releases a special version of Mozilla Firefox containing several utilities to manage your eBay account. Firefox eBay Edition is actually the main browser offered by Mozilla but it includes some useful utilities to allow you to track your transactions. The application is compatible with Windows and Mac and can be downloaded for free straight from Softpedia. The Windows version has 6 MB while the Mac package has no less than 18 MB.

"Keep an eye on your eBay trading wherever you are on the web when you install the Mozilla Firefox eBay-Edition. It's a free tool built with eBay users in mind that will help you get more out of your buying and selling" the parent company describes the recently-released tool.

Among the main features of this application, I can mention an eBay sidebar that offers one-click access to your account and provides real-time updates about your bidding items. According to TechCrunch, the program also offers status alerts, an eBay search technology as well as support for Account Guard, a system implemented by the bidding website and meant to protect the users.

As far I can see, the program is nothing more than a simple Firefox bundled with eBay's solutions. Also, it looks like the basic browser with an eBay toolbar that works just like other add-ons compatible with the application. For example, Yahoo also created its own toolbar that provides instant access to the solutions straight from the window of the browser.

"Never miss the eBay action. No matter where you're browsing, and whatever you're doing online, you can get an at-a-glance update on all your eBay activities: watching, buying or selling," eBay explained the goal of the program.
